This morning I received an e-copy of Youthworker Journal. For those with interest in youth ministry, lots of good material. I particularly appreciated the articles by two guys who have recently partnered with our ministry.

1. Tom Sine on Be a New Conspirator: Young People and Lay Leaders Are Creating the Future. Note:  we hosted an informal graduate student conversation with Sine in Pittsburgh last fall.
2. Andy Crouch on Making the Most of Mission Trips. I think this article and his new material on this topic is significant. I hope that it receives attention at Urbana Student Missions Convention at year end. Note:  we hosted Crouch for the kick-off of the Central PA Christian Scholars Network.  

If you'd like to be part of conversations with guys such Tom Sine and Andy Crouch, drop me a note and I'll get you connected!  In case you haven't heard, the 2nd gathering of the Central PA Christian Scholars Network is right around the corner on Sunday, October 11. We'll feature Stephen Nichols, professor of theology and church history at Lancaster Bible College on Jesus for the Academy: Freeing Christ from our Agendas. Please RSVP by Monday, September 28.  Note:   Nichols will preach at Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ on To Whom Shall We Go? (John 6:66-69) and present on Jesus Made in America: Honest Looks, Honorable Responses during the adult elective time between the services (10 - 10:45 am).

Teaser:  it's not too soon to mark your calendar for the 3rd gathering of the Central PA Christian Scholars Network on 2/28.  We'll feature Don Kraybill on The Sociology of Faith: An Autobiographical Story. Note: Kraybill will preach at Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ on Jesus' Upside Down Kingdom and lead an adult elective on Amish Grace and Christian Forgiveness.
